Our Research

The Farese and Walther laboratory studies how cells store metabolic energy in the form of lipids.

We study metabolism of the endo-lysosomal system, and its relationship to cancer and neurodegenertive disease (such as FTD, ALS, Alzheimers).

We employ techniques such as mass spectrometry, genome-perturbations screens, and high-content microcopy to generate hypotheses or models for biological processes.
